“This renovated property, dating back to 1953, provides a personalized bed and breakfast experience near La Spezia's main train station. I noted its pet-friendly stance and unique garden views, uncommon for a city hotel. Its location places guests within walking distance of key attractions such as the Castello San Giorgio.”
